Waiting on Wednesday #16

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

My pick this week is:

Title: City of Lost Souls

Series: The Mortal Instruments, Book 5

Author: Cassandra Clare

Release date: May 8th, 2012

Summary:

The demon Lilith has
been destroyed and Jace has been freed from her captivity. But when the
Shadowhunters arrive to rescue him, they find only blood and broken
glass. Not only is the boy Clary loves missing–but so is the boy she
hates, Sebastian, the son of her father Valentine: a son determined to
succeed where their father failed, and bring the Shadowhunters to their
knees.

No magic the Clave can summon can locate either boy, but Jace cannot
stay away—not from Clary. When they meet again Clary discovers the
horror Lilith’s dying magic has wrought—Jace is no longer the boy she
loved. He and Sebastian are now bound to each other, and Jace has become
what he most feared: a true servant of Valentine’s evil. The Clave is
determined to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy
without destroying the other. Will the Shadowhunters hesitate to kill
one of their own?

Only a small band of Clary and Jace’s friends and family believe
that Jace can still be saved — and that the fate of the Shadowhunters’
future may hinge on that salvation. They must defy the Clave and strike
out on their own. Alec, Magnus, Simon and Isabelle must work together to
save Jace: bargaining with the sinister Faerie Queen, contemplating
deals with demons, and turning at last to the Iron Sisters, the
reclusive and merciless weapons makers for the Shadowhunters, who tell
them that no weapon on this earth can sever the bond between Sebastian
and Jace. Their only chance of cutting Jace free is to challenge Heaven
and Hell — a risk that could claim any, or all, of their lives.

And they must do it without Clary. For Clary has gone into the heart
of darkness, to play a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of
losing the game is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing
to do anything for Jace, but can she even still trust him? Or is he
truly lost? What price is too high to pay, even for love?

Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.
